40th IAHR World Congress

Some of the specific objectives include promoting international cooperation on water, identifying and solving global water-related problems, promoting sustainability in water management, and creating partnerships to implement effective solutions.

SRK consultants from Argentina, Canada, and United Kingdom will be presenting at this conference. In addition to the technical talks listed below, Desana Stambuk (SRK UK) will be presenting Climate Change Effects on the Development of Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curves.

Technical Talks

A Probabilistic Methodology for DBA and its Comparison to Current Methods

Tuesday, August 22, 2023, 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM GMT+2

In this presentation, a probabilistic methodology is used for a case-study dam break assessment (DBA) in which key variables affecting failure characteristics are treated as random variables that follow a given probabilistic distribution.

An Analytical Approach to Evaluate Local Variation in Transverse Mixing for Regulatory Mixing Zone Analysis

Tuesday, August 22, 2023, 04:30 PM - 06:00 PM GMT+2

A regulatory mixing zone (RMZ) allows the initial dilution of industrial and municipal wastewater discharges, typically limited to shorter extents. For natural streams, transverse mixing is the primary mechanism for dilution and dispersal of effluent within this extent. This presentation examines how in-stream flow features and nonuniformity affect transverse mixing.
